TThe tensions that existed at Real Madrid while Xabi Alonso was on the bench were so great that conflicts arose between some players and the manager, for example Vinicius. The two sides clashed when the manager decided to replace the striker, leading to comparisons with other situations experienced by previous Real Madrid managers, such as Carlo Ancelotti.
Ancelotti was recently asked if he had ever been in a similar situation at Real Madrid and recalled an episode with Toni Kroos, who was also upset about being substituted in a Champions League match.

In an interview with Universo Valdano, Carlo Ancelotti was asked if he had ever had a fight with a player after being substituted, and he said it was a fight with German midfielder Toni Kroos.
“Once I left Kroos out, he was angry. The next day I didn’t talk to him. We met before going out on the pitch. I asked if we needed to talk and he said we had already talked,” Ancelotti recalled.
Ancelotti has always been known to control the dressing room well and say things to his face, so the situation with Kroos was not surprising and was resolved in a good way.
